I finally saw The Cool School yesterday night. I was ready to Writte and writte and writte….until bore the thing out of myself but what a surprise!! look what I found in the New York Times By MANOHLA DARGIS. So Just read at her post, it is quite good. I did not learn anything new on the process of modern art in America to be honest or in the way it has become what it is today in Los Angeles or I New York. We all know the Story. But I enjoyed to see this guys( Robert Irwin, Ed Ruscha, Wallace Berman, Ed Kienholz, Ed Moses etc…) playing the cool machos in the 50s and 60s California beaches and sharing a family together while they struggled to find the identities of their own work, work that has changed the world for so many. I specially loved to hear Duchamp voice and look at his calm and serenity in a very short part of  interviews that took place for his retrospective at the Pasadena Museum of Art (now the Norton Simon), in 1963.
The documentary is solid and comprehensive….maybe too conprehensive …
